The Alba Residences: Dorchester Collection’s First Sea-Front Garden Retreat
OMNIYAT, Dubai’s leading ultra-luxury developer, unveils The Alba Residences—a masterpiece of design, service, and serenity on the Palm Jumeirah. Managed by the world-renowned Dorchester Collection and envisioned by Zaha Hadid Architects, The Alba redefines the very notion of well-living. More than a residence, it is a sanctuary where light, water, and nature flow together in harmony, delivering an incomparable lifestyle shaped by artistry and care.
Architecture Ahead of the Curve
Rising gracefully from the Arabian Gulf, The Alba Residence’s sculptural curves and organic lines embody Zaha Hadid Architects’ signature design language. Its undulating façades capture sunlight and shadow throughout the day, creating a living canvas on the Palm’s horizon. Each line, each form, is conceived as part of a fluid dialogue with nature, elevating architecture into poetry.
This is not simply a building—it is a creation that reframes the Palm Jumeirah skyline. Light-filled volumes, over three-meter ceiling heights, and expansive glazing invite the sea and sky indoors, dissolving boundaries between the natural and the built. The Alba is elemental design elevated into living art.
Residences of Rarity
Inside the The Alba Residence, every home is imagined as a personal retreat. A limited collection of 60 residences, including simplex and duplex layouts, is complemented by three ultra-rare super penthouses. Spacious 3- and 4-bedroom designs combine contemporary elegance with fluid layouts that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living.
Each residence is appointed with its own private plunge pool on the terrace, making open-air living an everyday ritual. Select homes feature dual-aspect layouts, while master-wing balconies in curated residences come with private jacuzzis. Expansive terraces with elevated lounging platforms overlook the endless horizon, ensuring that every Alba residence is a sanctuary of exclusivity and calm.
A Sanctuary of Nature
The Alba Residence is enveloped by lush, resort-style landscaping designed by Vladimir Djurovic, where tropical greenery and shaded pathways flow down to the shoreline. Residents enjoy 250 meters of private beachfront, where ambient temperature-controlled pools blend seamlessly with golden sands. A serene children’s pool ensures family comfort, while a private beach bar offers a relaxed haven at the water’s edge.
The Central Oasis, spanning 25,000 m², anchors the masterplan with shaded promenades, reflective gardens, and tranquil spaces. This is where nature and architecture merge, providing a timeless rhythm of calm.
A New Standard of Wellness
At the heart of The Alba Residence, lies a 3,000 m² wellness destination curated for longevity and holistic well-being. Here, advanced therapies and personalized care meet in an environment designed for mind, body, and spirit renewal.
Residents benefit from cutting-edge diagnosis pods, bespoke longevity treatments, and vitality wet areas featuring electrolyte pools, infrared saunas, cryotherapy, hammams, and polar plunges. Serenity zones and mindful movement studios support yoga, Pilates, and meditation. A scalp & hair salon, gut-health bar, and wellness practitioners—from nutritionists to movement coaches—create a truly bespoke well-living program.
Every element is designed to elevate well-being, transforming daily rituals into artful moments of care.
This central location balances serenity and connection—ideal for professionals, families, and investors seeking a peaceful environment with immediate city access. It’s a community celebrated for its pet-friendly parks, landscaped walkways, and vibrant urban spirit.
